Get AmbITion! Communicate, collaborate, create and celebrate getting digital in the arts.
On 30th November, we eventcast the Arts Marketing Association Digital Marketing Day!
Onliners were able to experience live Keynotes Jim Richardon of Sumo Design and John McGrath of National Theatre Wales via AmbITion’s interactive eventcasting.
You can watch the eventcasts still, available on demand here.
Its been a while since the AmbITion roadshows, but we wanted to get in touch to officially say “goodbye” to AmbITion England and let you know of the final AmbITion England event - an AmbITion webcast of some of the keynotes from AMA’s Digital Marketing Day on 30th November 2009, starting online at 11am. This will be the last event, for now, that AmbITion is involved with in England.
We also wanted to officially say “hello” to you as AmbITion Scotland begins!!
If you’d like to watch the final AmbITion event, which is also the first event of AmbITion Scotland; and continue learning and networking with AmbITion: then do join the new national getambition online social network: http://getambition.ning.com. Christian Payne aka @documentally is the Digital Doctor in the forum there, and Erin Maguire, CJ Lyon and myself are all still around to network and share with!
At the AMA Digital Marketing event on 30th November we will be live streaming keynote presentations by:
11.15am - Jim Richardson, Managing Director, SUMO Design
&
14.30pm - John McGrath, Artistic Director of National Theatre Wales
(Please note we will not be streaming DK’s presentation).
We will be webcasting all the future AmbITion Scotland events from January 2010 - March 2011, and would love for you to be able to benefit, so make sure you’re on the new network! There are regional groups on the new national network that you can join to keep regional discussions going. (If you’ve been online recently to your regional social networks, set up after the roadshows, you’ll know that they will be shutting down soon: this is because the AmbITion project is ending in England; because they were set up to reflect Arts Council England regions that now have changed; and because all of you voted for a national getambition network!)
Finally, do keep visiting http://getambition.com, as we’re adding new resources, videos and blogs on digital development here all the time. Both websites will be run by AmbITion Scotland from 1st December.
Please do keep up your digital development journeys - we’re excited about the online opportunities you will still benefit from because of AmbITion Scotland!
All the best,
Hannah.
I’ve still not got an iPhone (yes, I know, I can hear the howls of derision from the rest of the digital arts community), so for all you iPhone users out there, I just wanted to share with you a couple of blog posts from one of Manchester’s Twitterati, Tim Difford. A first adopter of the first order, Tim tries out iPhone Apps so that you don’t have to…

Event Description:
Informal live online video chat using the networks built in video chat from Tokbox.
Link to blog article detailing how to take part
Since the regional Amb:IT:ion networks merged during September the GetAmbITion team have been collecting together resources on the getambition.com website and nurturing this network. The objective being to create an online knowledge and peer support network for creative organisation driving forward to embrace digital technologies and sustainable working practices.
This is the fourth and final session in a series of “Amb:IT:ion LIVE online” events. Each one has been an opportunity to ‘have a go’ at online communication. There have been technology hicups along the way but those joining the chats have enjoyed the face to face element of video chat.
Amb:IT:ion LIVE online is under review for the new year.
Subjects for future discussion have been discussed with social media best practice raising interest along with digital and social media accessibility.
Scheduling times other than the 5-6 slot has also been proposed.
There has also been a suggestion for Pecha Kucha style sessions.
A what you ask?
Pecha Kucha is a presentation concept where content can be easily, efficiently and informally shown through a series of slides (usually a short powerpoint presentation). Under the format, a presenter shows 20 images for 20 seconds apiece, for a total time of 6 minutes, 40 seconds.
As we can share slideshows through slideshare.net directly in to Tokbox I’m liking this idea very much.
I must stress Tokbox is not a video conferencing or telecast platform it is a chat platform for small groups to get together, chat and share media.
Please join me and let me know what you would like to see featured in in 2010.
What do you think? Join the chat on Wednesday evening from 5pm - 6pm
